How do you feel about ASMRs?

I hate them, mainly because stupid videos have caused people to have less understanding of what ASMR is.

ASMR isn't a type of video or content. It's a response to stimuli. The R in ASMR is literally Response. You can have videos meant to trigger ASMR, so technically those would qualify as "ASMR videos," but the term has left people mixed up about what ASMR is and many seem to think it means a type of content, that the content is ASMR.

ASMR videos are useless for me because not everyone that experiences ASMR do so from audio stimuli. All the soft whispers and whatnot other sounds do nothing for me. I'm triggered by altruism. I need someone to do something for me for no purpose than to do something for me. So, for example, let's say a friend decides my hair is begging for a makeover so she sits me down and pampers my hair. That's amazing. Going to a salon and paying someone to style my hair does nothing for me because they're just doing a job.
